Top 5 phyto-clarifiers

Here is a short list - the top five most popular phyto-clarifiers, that is, containing no chemical substances. Hydrogen peroxide is not included in this list, because despite all its popularity it still acts on the hair quite aggressively and at times even "experiences" curls.

Lemon

One of the most powerful phytoesthetics is lemon. It is good for lightening both dark and light hair. And it clarifies the hair not only pure lemon juice, but also essential oil of lemon. The girl under the nickname MaliSHka89 used it for clarification. Here is what she writes on the forum:

"I heard a lot about the fact that the lemon brightens the hair well, but for some reason it did not dare to try. So first I tried the lemon essential oil. Surprisingly, they can also lighten their hair. There are two ways I tried.

The first - added lemon essential oil to the shampoo, the second - made a mask with the addition of yogurt, coconut and linseed oil, mango oil and cinnamon. I store this mask in the fridge and periodically apply it to dry hair. I hold usually 2-3 hours, and then I wash off. The result can be seen below in the photo before and after the procedure. "

And here are other examples of clarification with lemon:

Honey

Hair can be clarified and other folk remedies, for example, honey. Experts believe that it acts on hair akin to hydrogen peroxide, but not so aggressively. Before applying honey, hair is usually shampooed with a pinch of soda.

Heated honey is applied as a pasty mask over the entire length of the hair and left for a whole night. In the morning, rinse with warm water, repeating the procedure 2-3 times. The main disadvantage of the mask is the sticky consistency of the mask and its possible leakage. The clarifying effect is noticeable not immediately, but in a few days.

Here are examples of photos before and after clarifying the hair with honey:

It is enough simply to pour the contents of the bottle into the bowl and gently apply the kefir mixture on the hair. Walk with such a mask for 2 hours, and then wash off.

To go with such structure on hair from 2 till 4 hours, and then to wash off. Hair lighten, but only after 3-4 regular sessions.

Olive oil

If a woman has black dyed hair, it will not be easy to lighten them. With this problem faced user Natalya.

She writes: "I decided to color black. Before that, she lightly tinted her hair with henna. The paint was applied by itself, at home, and exactly one week everything was fine. Then I realized that the brunette was not mine. Not my character.

Decided that you need to clarify urgently. Alas, this turned out to be a problem: in the salons I was offered lightening with expensive and aggressive means for the hair, and in some people refused to know about henna at all. I have nothing to do, I decided to remove the black color from the hair itself. Turned to folk remedies.

I was helped by the following: olive and burdock oil, soda and laundry soap. I applied oil all over the length of my hair and washed it off, and applied soda to the length of my hair and washed it off after 15 minutes. These funds only lightly lightened my hair, so I tried to wash my hair with soap.

So, after a few months of alternating oils, soda and laundry soap, I got a nice chestnut hair color. "
